Bruce got pounded (quite properly I thought) for applying patches
during late beta that he had not verified and indeed was not in a
position to verify. The rules need to be at least as stringent for
patches that go into a stable-release branch, since we don't normally
do much beta testing for dot-releases. But as long as someone has
adequately checked the patch, I don't think there should be a rule
against putting bug fixes into 7.1.* ...
